Code Blue

A Code Blue is enacted during extremely cold conditions, when temperatures feel near or below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. During a Code Blue, the City takes special measures to keep people who are homeless safe. These measures include:

24-hour outreach to find people who are homeless and transport them to safe indoor spaces.

Opening all available beds within the emergency housing network to people who are homeless.

Allowing homeless people to stay inside emergency housing throughout the day.

If you see a person who appears to be homeless during a Code Blue, call the Project HOME outreach hotline at (215) 232-1984.
